4 Stunning Shower Tile Looks to Spark Your Creativity
When we think about some of our favorite tile upgrades in home projects, shower tile installations always pop to the top of the list. Tile in a small space requires it to meet both functional and aesthetic goals, so shower tile has a significant role in making a bathroom remodel shine. Some of the best shower tile ideas think outside the box in dramatic ways.
Mixing Styles is Magic
We often see just one type of tile in the bathroom shower, but mixing styles can give a magical result! Interior designer Tana Hallows used our Zellige 2″x6″ tiles in Snow White on the shower walls of her basement bathroom remodel and our Black Zellige 4 “x4” tiles on the floor. The classic black and white combination stuns from afar and up close – using the matching grout colors definitely helps the two shades pop. However, the design decision that ties it all together is a third tile choice on the bathroom floor. Our Maya White and Black ceramic tile stands out with its eye-catching pattern, pieced together by Tana herself.

The bathroom could look one-dimensional with this black-and-white tile color scheme, but the variety of textures and patterns adds plenty of depth. The handmade quality and imperfect edges of the Zellige shower tile contrast with the smoother finish on the floors. Each tile ends up reinforcing the best qualities of the other. This transformation goes to show that when you have too many tile ideas for a bathroom remodel, why not use them all?
Bringing the Outside In…
In modern times, we’ve moved our bathrooms indoors — much to our comfort and convenience. But an indoor bathroom doesn’t mean the outdoor vibes are absent. The TX Collective excels at making indoor and outdoor spaces blend and coexist, and their stunning shower tile upgrade in the Desert Rose Ranch shipping container might as well be an ode to mother nature’s design aesthetic.

Using our Natural Unglazed Terracotta 2″x6″ Zellige Tile for the shower installation balances the modern fixtures. The imperfect, handmade quality produces natural variations in shape and color tone that mirror the breathtaking landscape just outside the shower window. We love the marriage of high-quality functionality with a grounded feel.
…And the Inside, Out
The best tile for showers is about marrying design aesthetics with functionality. What kind of light does the bathroom get, how often is the shower used, and what other features are in the space? When installing a retreat-style outdoor shower, the question becomes how to blend modern fixtures with natural beauty. The experts at Dani California Interiors landed that perfect balance with their outdoor shower nestled in a spring- and summer-ready garden escape.

The landscaping hints at homeowners who value privacy, relaxation and a chance to commune with the natural greens and browns of the surrounding area. Our Estrella Grey ceramic tile seamlessly designates a stunning space to relax under the rainfall showerhead after a swim without obstructing the view. It’s modern meets desert chic, all in the most tranquil setting.
Loving a Flair for Drama
Showers are ubiquitous in home design — almost every build has one, so the challenge can be finding a way to make the universal, expected space stand out from everything else on the block. We love when the answer is to do something dramatic, and designer Brodie Jenkins doesn’t disappoint with her arched shower transformation in the Berkeley Hills.

Brodie’s structural design, matched with her material choice, is an A+ inspiration for shower tile ideas in future projects. The Natural White 2″x6″ Zellige tile not only creates depth on the walls, drawing your eye into the space but also works perfectly on the ceiling! A hidden curtain means the shower interior can show off its stunning tile around the clock. We’re betting that showering in this space feels a bit like being in a luxurious castle. You’re never too old to make those enchanted dreams come alive.
With so many diverse installations, we love the shower tile inspiration designers across the country are sharing.
